(2105) Formal Court

[Maeve]

Maeve exits the court as her Priscus walks her down the stairs and out. There is a completely blank expression on her face.

[Quinn Durant]

Quinn returns to the room and takes a seat at the Chess table. Looking a bit tired after all the excitement with her clan. It was a huge act of will, after all. It brought everything in line very very quickly, but the cost was there to bite her in the ass as well.

She felt she had spent a piece of herself. Sitting there her gaze turned her attention on the chess pieces, her ears open and perked at the situation with the Seneschal and Mr. Smith. She was wondering how that was gunna play out. Occasionally her gaze would lift to the two speaking, but she did not interject nor go over where she wasn't expressly invited. She did pay attention. Also her gaze moved over to Dirt nap as well.

As her Ladyship, The Lady Notary Hazelton, left court , Quinn bowed her head to her with a warm smile. Hoping she saw it before she headed out into the night.

[Conner Wells]

Conner exits Court shortly after Maeve, looking deep in thought.

[Milton]

Shortly after Jennifer's departure, Milton detaches himself from Simone's company and begins the transit across open court toward the exit.

On his way, he bows deeply to the Prince, and offers similar (though not as extensive) respects to both Twist and Jacque.

Finally, he passes Quinn seated alone at the Chess table, pondering her many sorrows no doubt.

Milton slows just a step to offer the Shadow a smile and a nod. "Have a good evening, Priscus," he says before continuing on his merry way.

The Lord leaves court feeling quite buoyant. On balance, it's been a fine night.

[Mable Wood]

After a look around, Mable heads to the door. She gives a bow to the Prince as she walks by her. She mouths good night to those who notice she is leaving.

At the top of the stairs she turns and quietly says a blessing for all those in court to be safe and protected by the goddess. Quietly whispered blessing, "goddess, please look out for my fellow kindred, protect them in all they do. Keep them safe and secure. I thank you for bestowing a blessing over the domain and all who reside here. And thank you, goddess for all you do and represent."

She may not be a voice within court or the domain, but she feels the need to care and protect them all. She turns and leaves quietly into the night.

[Edward Heinrich]

Quite the night.

Edward bowed deep to the Prince, and then hesitated. Seneschal was a higher title than Hound, but Twist was better respected.
Well, it was a toss-up, so Edward went with his instinct and bowed to Twist and then the Lord.

As he left he gazed briefly at Quinn, if she met his eyes he nodded to her, but otherwise said nothing and left.

[Quinn Durant]

Quinn nodded to those who did the same with her, yes, even Milton's creepy ass. She smiled privately to herself, as she looked over the chess pieces on the table. As if coming to some conclusion in her own mind. She bowed to her Grace, and to the Archon before departing court for real real this time.
